Client Testimonials

“We enjoyed day and night canoeing and were blessed with the beautiful autumn colours. It was a very educational, relaxing and satisfying 3 day package. Listen out for the sounds of the falling leaves, this place is amazingly quiet and peaceful.”

Ching 

“I went on this trip in September – was perfect timing as there were no bugs, the weather was perfect for hiking and canoeing and the log cabin was super cozy and warm at night! The guides were amazing, the cooking was amazing, the scenery was, you got it, amazing!”
